Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 does not recognise my memory card

\015 Hi I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 which has been working fine up until now. I took my memory card out so I could upload photos on my computer. When I went to put the memory card back in the camera, the camera did not recognise the card was in there. Any photos I now take only get stored on the automatic memory system within the camera. They do not get put on the memory card. The memory card works fine in my computer so I dont think thats the problem. Is there a way I can stop the camera storing pictures in its memory and get it back to the card? any advice much appreciated. Thanks.\015

I have an Panasonic DMC-FX7 Lumix camera. I went to Kinkos so they could download the pictures on to a CD-rom, they tried their scan disk and it was not working. When I tried to look at the pictures in my camera I received a memory card error stating would I like to format.

How do I move movie footage from a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 memory card to computer? I can only get photos off the card and I have no memory left to take more photos.

The same way as you are transfering photos the whole memory data can be stored . If your PC is full you will need to write off the memory to free space, or use an additonal disk drive to store up the data. Make sure that unwanted files are cleared ou ...

Deleting Videos I have no issues with deleting pictures from my cards or internal memory, but I cannot seem to delete videos from one of my cards (2G SD)while using the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8.
The videos do not even show on the camera at all, even in playback mode. For some reason, every time I transfer all my pictures to my PC, it tries to download all these stored videos too.
Please help!

Hi,\015\012Based on your post/description I can only assume that somehow the videos are still there inside your memory. Probably your best bet would be to reformat your card, although you can format the memory card with your PC and a card reader, it ...

Panasonic still camera DMC TZ5
I had taken three frames without trouble. Went to take the fourth frame. Camera would not take. Camera told me to turn it off and then on again. I did this several times, Doesn't work. Clerk at store told me to take out battery and memory card and to leave it for 24 hours. I repeated this several times. It did not work. I phoned the panasonic number that was given to me by the store. It's in Jamaica! I could NOT understand him because of his very thick accent.
